I want to get these two subs 12' Pioneer TS-W306C from ike sounds because they are only 49.00 bucks each and i wanted to get this amp Pioneer GM-5100T because it is also cheap only 99.00 and i was wondering if this wasnt to bad of a setup for a newbie i am getting this stuff mainly because my funds are extremly limited about 200-350 plus all the other stuff to get it hooked up to my car so i am basicly sayin is this setup ok?

It wont be too bad..for the money....but use a period in your sentence next time

not bad stuff, if you ahve a decent headunit, it should sound good,

i'm from west palm beach.. if you want to drive to the flea market in ft. lauderdale i could meet you there

i'll make you a custom ported box for that and help you install everything for 100 bucks

or i can meet you there and help install for 20 bucks if you have everything there that we need.

let me know : )

edit: what kind of vehicle is it?

 

[dhsreppin 10+ year member]

thank you, but i am kind of skeptical of the amp because i searched around the forums and i couldnt find any info about that amp, but i heard that the subs were not to bad for the price

That amp is not even 400 watts. I think you could find a much nicer amp for a little more money. Would you be willing to buy a used one?

Nah you can get a single channel, or even a four channel. What kind of subs are these... dual 2 dual 4 single 2.. etc

Edit: if ebay is right and they are single 4 ohm, you would want anywhere from 700 to 1000 watts rms at 2ohms x1.

kicker kx600 RF bd1000 some jbl and hifonics could maybe be recommended from some. I know nothing about em but I think they may have something. Possibly a profile amp.

honestly idk what you are talkin about when you say what kind of subs they are but i am going to buy them from ikesound because i think it's not to far from my house

 

[mikescanlon 10+ year member]

those ARE good subs.. dhsreppin, hit me up on aim, i'll walk you through some of the stuff if you want.. i'm a pioneer dealer in west palm.. i can probably get better prices.. those are great subs for that price range, you cant do much better than that.

they'll sound good with about 800 watts together, or 450 a piece.

If I was you I'll get the mono amp to run those subs.

 

[dhsreppin 10+ year member]

which mono amp should i get. and what is the difference between a 2 channel amp and a mono amp which would work better. because i always thought that every channel was for one speaker

 

[Dj Perico 10+ year member]

2 channel amp is good. I just like using less amps in a system. I got 12 ma audio subs powering it will be mono amp. Whats your budget on amp.

Either will work. But since bass should be played in mono you would want to only send the 2 channel amp a mono signal (take the RCAs and combine them with a y splitter or take one side and split it). Again either will work, the monoblock amp is just easier IMO.

but will a mono amp push 2 subs?
